Using LockPick here, if you use LockPick you can't wire to tail lights or it won't have the options of being able to turn it on whenever you want.

Basically the same way with the LockPick. You get a power supply for a rear cam, one for the babycam which I will use for the front cam. You also get 2 extra 12V one ACC and one Constant. Off the video cable you get 2 sets of RCA Jacks to hook up to games whatever. I can't wait to get it installed. I am paraplegic and my kid is working too much. Guess I am gonna have to do it in parts. Install the cameras, run the wires so its all there and then mount the LockPick.
Where did you who are using Allgig or Lockpick install them? The Lockpick has a USB and the power wires from it are like 2 feet I am assuming. I was thinking of under the dash incase of an issue then it can be accessed without taking off the dash.
